Coaching to Win

The facts are compelling. An organisation filled with great leaders benefits from a high performance; high value culture where people thrive and levels of achievement, support and fun are at a premium. Recent studies by organisations such as Hay Group, KPMG and Hewitt Associates find that companies and individuals with stronger leadership practices are outperforming their peers in long term measures such as progression and financial growth.

One practice specifically separating the Top Companies and Individuals from all the others is the use of management and executive coaching. Leadership expert studies find that 47% of the Top 20 Companies for Leaders regularly assign coaches to their high potential employees, whilst only 10% of another 300 firms surveyed made a similar claim.  There is compelling evidence that the Top 20 companies know that management and executive coaching provides powerful tools to accelerate the performance of the most talented people they have within their organisation.

As a consequence, there has been an explosion in coaching over recent months. In a year when most of us watch in awe at the incredible achievements of some of the world’s greatest athletes as they compete for Gold; more and more layers of managers, from junior through to high flying executives and entrepreneurs, are seeking the support of reputable coaches to enable them to excel in their field.

Coaching can take many different forms and it is important to distinguish between coaches who help leaders become more effective individual leaders and coaches who help leaders and organisations develop leaders. It is also important to identify the dominant area of coaching need; whether it be coaching for organisational change; strategy coaching; cultural and diversity coaching; career progression; behavioural coaching; or people development to name a few.

What is clear is that there are some generic requirements depending on where you are in the organisation and where you want to get to. For example, at the early managerial stages, individuals often need more general, behavioural and career orientated coaching, and generalist coaching is an ideal solution. Whereas, at CEO level, more specific areas are identified. In this respect, top executives want to deal with expert coaches with knowledge of specific issues.

Whatever coaching need you have, there is no doubt that coaching plays a critical role in driving performance improvement and in enabling individuals to unlock the potential they have within.

In today’s fast moving, dynamic, commercial environment, another phenomenon of coaching is taking root. More and more individuals are choosing to arrange their own external coaching outside of any leadership training they receive in their organisation. Increasing numbers of people want to arrange coaching at their own personal expense and without the knowledge of their employer or peers. These ambitious, forward thinking individuals are self-developers wanting to develop winning strategies to give them the edge over all their peers and ‘competitors’. They don’t always know what they what or how to get there, but they have a determination and desire for success and understand the benefits a coach bring in helping them to formulate the right plan for the future.

If this is you, read on.

Leadership expert, Simon Teague is helping increasing numbers of people to reach their full potential through coaching. Well educated and experienced in the corporate and business arena, he has helped CEO’s of Blue Chip organisations and medium sized companies to develop visionary leadership styles and help take their companies from good to great performance levels. He has also helped hundreds of junior, middle and senior managers to learn new skills, become more effective leaders and progress rapidly in their careers and ultimately to experience their best year yet, year after year.

A qualified Best Year Yet® Coach, successful businessman and author of The Ultimate Leadership Guide, Simon is also amongst the world’s newest leadership thinkers and experts. Consequently he has access to some of the world’s best coaches and can match your needs with the right coaching skills to create a winning formula between you.

Coaches enter engagements as experts and sometimes as saviours. A strong relationship of trust and mutual respect is an essential ingredient of success. But most of all, people who desire a better future have to understand (and accept) that it’s not the coaches job to do it for them or give them a comfortable ride. Quite the opposite is true. The best coaches will be asking the most uncomfortable questions. Steering, guiding and nurturing your talent is a challenging but rewarding experience for both coach and coachee.

I often get asked to recommend coaches and be employed as a coach. It’s not unheard of for top-flight executives to pay up to £60,000 a year for top-flight coaches. However, I believe much more affordable and yet still as effective coaching programmes can be designed for each person’s individuals requirements.

What is true is that in EVERY case where good quality coaching has played its part, individuals have gone on to earn at least five-fold the amount of money they invested in the coaching within only a couple of years. What is also true, from my own experience and research into highly effective coaching, is that it cannot be a one hit wonder. Coaching only works over a period of time – (preferably a minimum of 1 year), when new habits, behaviours and skills can be learned, applied and measured.

I have therefore designed three ‘Olympic style’ coaching programmes to suit the majority of people’s needs. If you are serious about your future, I commend the silver programme to you:
